To show or not to show, that is the question

[crotchboots-m]

if you dont want anyone to see them,just stay home and wear them

In time I'd love to show off, but I think it'll take time to build up to it

Man, just take the plunge.....this is something you can't work up for. Wear a nice looking pair of Loafers with 3" heels - black or brown - and go to the mall and just act like you own the place. No one will notice...and if anyone does, they won't care anyway. Everyone is way to occupied with their own concerns.

besides, if anyone reacts, just walk on and smile nicely. (email thighbootguy if you've any questions....he's a very accomplished street heeler. )

I like an inch of my heel to show when I'm standing, more when I'm walking, and even more when I'm sitting. People will still notice If they choose to do so. Like said before by Bubba---people are too tied up in their own affairs in most cases to even notice a guy in heels. As long as I'm happy, who cares. Cheers--- Dawn HH

I'm coming round to it. Taking the plunge, that is. I do have several pairs of shoes already, but passion pink stilettoes aren't idea, neither are my brown stiletto cowboy boots. But the ones I've mentioned in a previous thread are looking good for me, although I may just go out and buy some in advance...

These are quite dull (as a TV I generally wore boots similar to those in my avatar), but I'm reckoning that in male dress (female jeans but a standard shirt), it's probably better to go conservative.

I'm onle of those people who once they commit to something, just dives in and makes the most of it. Milton Keynes shopping centre here we come

Keith Adams:-) No---Passion pink stiletoes won't do it, but those e-bay pair will be great for streetheeling and when you crossdress, anything goes then. Cheers--- Dawn HH

See, we're getting there. I'm going to aim for next week for my street-heeling adventure. This week is going to be mad-busy at work. Next week will be serene and I will be in the zone of tranquility K xx

I agree. Chances are some people are going to notice anyway no matter how you try to hide the heels. They'll hear the clicking of the heel, the pants will ride up, or something. Once I get a good pair of streetheeling shoes I'll wear them places. I might wear them with a pair of jeans (regular guy jeans so won't hide the heel) but that'll be about it.

Show? Shoot yes let 'em show. A big part of this forum is to further our cause. The more we are seen, the more we are accepted. The more we are accepted, the easier it will be to heel, buy, and be comfortable wearing what we like. HEELS

I like to show them. Last time I was out I was in 4" black pumps, tan hose, and a mini skirt with a casual men's skirt. I'm 6'4" without heels and so the hieght, the mini skirt, and my broad shoulders left nothing to hide. I was definitely a man in skirt and heels. Felt GREAT!!! There's a girl at work that wears 5" stillettos under floor length pants. It makes her look like she has no feet. The pants legs fall straight to the floor like she has two peg legs. I hate it!

I have a passion for hh clogs. They are not too "showey" when walking, but when I sit down at the coin-op laundry, I rather enjoy the effect when my cuffs ride up, and it's apparant that "this guy ain't wearin' sneakers".

Glad to see there are other tall men that wear high heels. I'm 6'5" without heels and want to wear heels and skirts in public (once I get some good street shoes and some skirts) and this gives me a bit more confidence to do so.

I'm planning to go by Payless and a few clothing stores to see what I can find tomorrow.

If she's approachable, you should go over and say something, maybe "You wear great shoes, you should try to show more of them..." I'd hope she'd appreciate the compliment, even if she doesn't read into it that you might be a heel lover.

Is she more outgoing, or a bit reserved? Maybe she's like some of us - she loves wearing high heels, but doesn't want the looks and comments associated with them. I don't think I'm unusally in thinking the view I have of a woman wearing 1" loafers would be very different if she was in 5" stillettos.

Keith Adams:-) Looking forward to reading of your heely adventures out in public next week. Cheers--- Dawn HH

When I do wear heels in public, it's pretty subdued, usually the heel is half-covered by jeans.

[Dawn HH]

When out in public, my heels are showing only an inch right now, but I expect that when I can again start to wear my heels publically, I may show more. Cheers--- Dawn HH

I do love to show my shoes most of the time. In the last few months I have been out in red shoes, peep toes, and even sandals. On occasion I don't feel the need however. For those times, I just opt for more conservative heels. Women must go through similar situations I would assume. Over the last few months, I have bought a few pair of women's trousers and jeans with a long inseam that covers my shoes pretty well, but I do it more for style than to hide my shoes. I like long trousers because they are made for heels and really add some pop to the outfit.
